Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

There are a few things that you will need installed on your slack system before we begin, this is whats required:
openvpn 2.1 and the Android SDK for linux (no build necessary, just unpack it and follow instructions)

2. Extract the SDK, then navigate to the folder where the adb application is:

Code:

tar xvf android-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz
cd android-sdk-linux_x86/tools

3. copy from tools the adb application to /usr/bin

Code:

cp tools/adb /usr/bin

4. we need a rules file. create a new text file "/etc/udev/rules.d/91-android.rules" and use vi option "i" or vim option "i" (input) or whatever text editor you like if you are allergic to the command line =/.
key the following (replacing "USERNAME" with the slack user):
